Secure Online Banking? 
I think I wrote about this before, but it annoys me every week. Internet banking here in Korea is only possible using a PC with Microsoft Windows. Not only that, it is only possible using Internet Explorer. Still not done, I can only do it by installing ActiveX plugins that employ
trojan horse like technology to protect me from other trojans and
key loggers. Actually, I had to install about 3-4 different plugins before I even see the login, which in itself is a plugin that manages the certificats.
Fortunately I have a Parallels virtual machine to protect me, but it does not protect my online account. I wonder why on earth only here in Korea I have to do it. I have had accounts in different parts of the world and I was always able to use standard web browsers of different kinds to do the online banking.
